Coverage will typically include spatial location (a place name or
geographic coordinates), temporal period (a period label, date, or date range) or
jurisdiction (such as a named administrative entity). Recommended best practice is
to select a value from a controlled vocabulary (for example, the Thesaurus of
Geographic Names) and that, where appropriate, named places or time periods be used
in preference to numeric identifiers such as sets of coordinates or date
ranges.
